The male guardians of Saudi Arabian women are now informed by text message when their "charges" leave the country—even when they are traveling together.

The Saudi Arabian governments unannounced move has drawn intensive criticism from activists, and has sparked much Twitter outrage.

AFP reports that the government's new SMS technique began only last week, adding another layer to the control the Saudi Arabian government currently exerts over women's lives.

Speechless. This country never ceases to surprize me.
